Another amused and pleased audience
at the theater last night witnessed Sol
Smith Russell in "Bewitched." Russell is
a genial Yankee humorist and character
specialist, favorably known as clever
comedian. There is not a dull moment
when he is on the stage, and from the
laughter which he provokes, one would
imagine that the audience had gotten
possession of the famous "amulet. Laugh
ing at him grows task, and relief only
comes whom the curtain falls. The sup

people, who add considerably to the mirth
